January 01, 1970

John Carline (1730–2 March 1793) was an 18th-century English bridge-builder. Both his son (1758-1834) and grandson (1792-1862) continued the name - the former focussing on churches and church monuments but also building bridges.

He was born at Carline Place in Lincoln in 1730. He trained as a stonemason and around 1765 he went into partnership with a John Tilly or Tilley in Shrewsbury and together they built several bridges. In Shrewsbury he lived in a large self-built house at Abbey Foregate.[1]

In 1771 they built the arched stone bridge at Coleham Head over the Rea Brook. Finding a quantity of potential work he bought an area of open land in Shrewsbury to use as a mason's yard and this became known as Carline's Field. In 1774 they built the five arch English Bridge in Shrewsbury. In 1788 they built a new entrance portico for Adderley Hall.[2]

In 1788 he won a contract for a new jail and workhouse in Shrewsbury.[3]

In 1790 they built the three arch Montford Bridge over the River Severn under a commission from Thomas Telford completing this in 1794.

In 1790 they built the magnificent St Alkmund's Church in Shrewsbury - still a major landmark with its tall stone spire. At the same time they built a fine row of Georgian houses known as the Claremont Buildings. By this stage a great deal of the work was being done by his son, who added an artistic flair.[4]

He died on 2 March 1793 back in Lincoln.
